The Power of Women

Three years ago today we had Kynslee's funeral. It hit me tonight as I was sitting in the same chapel where her funeral was held. And I was wearing the same jacket that I wore to her funeral. Tonight is the first time I have worn it since that day. I haven't really been able to or wanted to wear it. I associate it with sad times. But special times. But for some reason I felt like wearing it tonight. It kind of felt like a big step for me. We had a stake leadership meeting that we as a stake primary presidency were in charge of putting together. The theme of the night was the power of women. Our stake president gave an inspiring talk about women heros in the scriptures, and encouraged us to be those kind of women. I thought about Kynslee alot. I thought about how she is my hero. I thought about how strong and courageous she is. I thought about her example of perserverance and enduring to the end. I thought about the peace she brought to everyone that knew her. I thought about the way she impacted so many people's lives. I thought about the way she shared the gospel in her own way. I thought about how she helped others gain and strengthen their testimonies. I thought about all the love she shared with everyone. I thought about her sweet little smile and her beautiful eyes. I thought about how much I miss her. And I thought about how I want to be like her. She is an example of how the power of a woman can affect so many people in so many ways. I miss her so much it hurts. But I feel her close to me. I feel her helping me along the way. I feel her encouraging me. I feel her love. I feel her helping me become the woman I want to be.

Thinking of the funeral, I included some pictures.

Here's To Great Women;
May We Know Them
May We Raise Them
May We Be Them
